See Vogue's Dramatic Photography of the California Drought

In order to bring awareness to the water shortage in California, Vogue.com sent aerial photographer George Steinmetz to document the Owens Valley—which was the inspiration for Chinatown and is now in the throes of severe drought—from above. The images are at once dramatic and stunningly beautiful. Watch above, and then watch your water waste.
